January 5, 2010 — Gone are the days of registering for crystal and china that will only be used a couple of times a year. Instead, enter the era of the wish registry, and a chance for wedding guests to give newly married couples once in a lifetime experiences, a brighter future and a chance to live their life together to the fullest.
Newly launched UponOurStar (www.uponourstar.com) is the industry’s first wish registry site for brides and grooms-to-be. The site gives couples a platform to express their wedding wishes, and gives wedding guests an opportunity to celebrate the couple’s union by investing in their hopes and dreams. Each year, billions of dollars are spent on store-bought wedding gifts, and while luggage and towels can be useful, an investment in a couple’s future is a far more meaningful way to wish a couple well on the most important day of their lives.
“What’s a fairytale wedding without the granting of a wish or two,” said Mariko Takeuchi, managing director of UponOurStar. “Rather than browsing catalogs and stores to come up with a list of ‘stuff’ traditionally viewed as requirements for starting a life together, couples can share their greatest hopes, dreams and wishes with their friends and family, and enlist their help in making them come true.”
Today’s couples are thinking ‘outside the gift box’ when it comes to selecting what should be on their wedding registry. According to recent statistics and research, most couples get married in their late 20s and are already established, thus eliminating the need for common household items that once dominated traditional gift registries. Instead of appliances and linens, most modern couples would much rather have guests contribute to their commitment to a healthy lifestyle or a college education for their future children. And these are exactly the types of wishes and dreams that UponOurStar wants to help make a reality for couples.
